Overview

The Pomeranian is lively and eager to learn. They get along well with other household pets if given a slow and proper introduction. They make wonderful companions for families with older, well-behaved children and the elderly.

Character

The Pomeranian is a compact, active toy breed. They are intelligent, extremely loyal to their family, and loving. They are eager to please, gentle, and affectionate. They also exhibit an inquisitive expression and curiosity.

Temperament

The Pomeranian is confident, commanding, and outgoing. Due to the Pomeranians small stature they are not recommended for homes with small children as they may become temperamental. They make excellent guard dogs and will sound a bark when they sense danger.

Care

In addition to grooming it is important for Pomeranians to receive excellent dental care. They are prone to tooth loss; so regular cleaning is a must. Dry food is recommended to aid in keeping teeth and gums healthy.

Coat

The Pomeranians long double coat requires brushing at least once weekly. It is important to lift and part the top coat and brush the cottony undercoat as well. This will reduce shedding. Frequent brushing can damage the coat.

Training

Pomeranians respond best to firm commands and are quick to learn. They are easily trained in obedience. Their barking must be controlled or they will do so incessantly. They may be difficult in housebreaking, but with consistency and praise do very well either going outside or in a litter box.

Activity

The Pomeranian requires short walks and play time with other pets and family. They have the capability to learn tricks if done with patience and time. They may become bored if they are not given enough to do. They are excellent for apartment living and homes with small yards.

Ownership

Help reduce the number of Pomeranian puppies in shelters by doing your due diligence. Many puppies are often purchased with little or no knowledge of what goes into parenting one. Uneducated decisions often leave the puppy in need of adoption and in the care of rescue groups. Bringing home a puppy into your family has many benefits but we first implore you to educate yourself. An informed decision will take into account the characteristics of the breed, your lifestyle, expected veterinary care, the demands and limitations of owning one, their activity requirements and levels of companionship required.

Do Pomeranians get separation anxiety like barking, destructiveness, and wheeping when left alone too much? A Pomeranian breeder told me I should consider a different breed when inquiring about one of their Pomeranians for sale after I mentioned I work 8 hours a day.

The Pomeranian breed is a companion breed of dog, they love to be with their owners and desire to be with them. The Pomeranian is a small breed of dog that has a small bladder, and can have issues holding their bladders for that long. But a well socialized and trained puppy should not have separation anxiety. If you have the ability to come back at lunch or have someone to let your dog out in the middle of the day, your dog should do fine.2/5/2015 12:09:37 AM

It is time to see the vet. It can be anything from the dog going into heat, in which case, if she is old enough, it's time to spay her. But it could also be a parasite, dry skin, an allergy, or there could be a medical problem with her urine. But none-the-less, it is best to take your dog to the vet as soon as possible.2/2/2015 4:31:25 PM

If your pom is a little bit constipated what do you do? My 4 month old pom is slightly constipated what do I do?

1 Comment

If your pom is too loose or is constipated, the best thing you can give him/her is a pit of pureed pumpkin. You can get it at any grocery store. But make sure it says "Pumpkin Puree", not "Pumpkin Pie Filling". You want the basic, just pureed pumpkin with water. No sugar or anything added to it. For the size of your dog, I would say give about a tablespoon into his/her food and wait 24 hours.6/2/2014 1:40:46 PM

i have had 7 poms in my lifetime and understand them. They are barkers and that is something I just accepted. They also are protective and growl at strangers. I let my puppies get use to people and let them be held by adults while I was present. They need to know strangers in your home are not a threat. I never yell at mine. I don't know how you can change a dog that just happens to be from a "barking" breed. If they don't like strangers after conditioning, just put them in a safe place until the stranger leaves. It's like expecting children to stay quiet and not unsure of strangers. Stay calm and the dog will learn people are ok.1/20/2014 6:00:17 PM

Is your Pom neutered? He is coming into sexual maturity, and will be dominant if not neutered. A Pom naturally wants to protect his beloved owner. You must, must to be calm-submissive. At only 6 months, this will get worse. Read Ceasar Milan's books. They will give you the tools you need.1/5/2015 8:57:22 PM

It depends on what colors the parents carry for. It's never a good idea to breed two merles together though, as that can cause genetic defects.1/10/2015 12:05:36 AM

2 Comments

Yes, Pomskys exist but they aren't what people think they are. The cute "pomsky" puppy picture circulating the internet is actually a picture of a Finnish Lapphund puppy. Actual "pomskys" look very different and that big puffy coat doesn't show up often since its a recessive gene. If you are looking for a "mini husky", there is a breed called a Klee Kai.1/2/2014 4:41:30 PM

Since Poms can get low blood sugar they should be free feed.12/6/2014 1:17:22 PM

As a pom owner and breeder- I also feel they should be free fed (allowed access to food all day to avoid symptoms of hypoglycemia *low blood sugar*). Small breeds burn off energy quicker than larger breeds.1/10/2015 12:02:54 AM

no red (sable) poms are a very common color. 7/28/2014 4:02:38 PM

No red/orange is one of the most recognizable and common coat colors for poms. Red is essentially a very heavy orange. If they have black tips to varying degree they could be orange sable/red sable depending on the saturation of color. I have 1 red and 2 orange- one w/light sable and 1 heavy sable. Horrible that she was a mill dog. 1/10/2015 12:01:00 AM

Buy more wee wee pads and start at a place he/she is use to. Then each couple of days move the wee wee pad closer to the back door. (or where ever you have you dog go to the bathroom)Then once the wee wee pad is right in frount of the door you start taking your dog outside.

Mine does the same thing. When she is excited, she sounds like a goose. It's because they have narrow tracheas. I just calm her down and it subsides. I mentioned it to her vet and I think if it was serious she would have said something.2/19/2013 10:30:13 PM

Pomeranian's collapse their tracheas very easily after getting very excited or running around. It's a normal thing. Just try to calm the dog down or even try to rub his/her throat. 12/11/2013 5:53:51 PM

Poms have a heavy undercoat and they do shed. They can be good with kids if raided with them and are treated nice by the kids. They do like to bark when people come to the door. I woudn't call them a super active breed like some of the terriers. 2/16/2013 12:54:42 PM

I HAVE A POMERIAN WITH SKIN PROBLEMS she has small bumps coming up on her neck and back right now is is very dry weather could this be causing this problem with her skin ?

In the USA there is one pomeranian breed which is in the AKC toy breed family(no such thing as teacup in poms). The pom was breed down from the larger dog breed, the spitz and these smaller sizes dogs got a new names. spitz, mittelspitz, klienspitz, and zwergspitz(pomeranian). Or some poms carry the spitz genes and when they both give it to a pup it produces a larger than usually pup, which we call a throwback.(Or larger pups can occur from mixed-breed breeding in the pedigree)2/6/2013 8:16:43 PM

lose hair do pomeranian pups lose their hair?

1 Comment

yes they (some) can go through a period referred to as the “puppy uglies” at around say 4-6 months of age when they shed their puppy coat and prepare for their adult coat to grow in. The baby fluff comes out and they tend to look very straggly or shaggy at that point, You may think you got jipped with some other breed or cross breed of dog even, say a longhair Chihuahua instead of your pretty pom pup. That is truly normal so have patience, it usually grows back beautifully, bigger and better than ever in a good quality Pom, so-so in a lesser quality Pomeranian.
Generally, by 10-12 months old (it varies a bit with the season -
coats thicken faster during the winter months) he or she is in a full coat.
